Kansas agrees to pay man $1.5M after he spent 23 years in prison for murders he didn’t commit

A judge ordered the state of Kansas to pay a man $1.5 million after wrongfully sending him to prison for 23 years for a double murder he didn’t commit.

Lamonte McIntyre was arrested when he was 17 years old and charged with the murders of Doniel Quinn, 21, and Donald Ewing, 34. Without any physical evidence tying McIntyre to the scene, he was found guilty in 1994 based on the testimony of two eyewitnesses.
